Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Crawl Space Clean-up in Mount Vernon, Illinois

Curt A. of Mount Vernon, Illinois had a musty, moist crawl space that needed repair, so he decided to call Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, Brandon B. found a solution and recommended installing a Twin Pack sump pump, a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier, and IceGuard. Foreman, Joshua B. installed the products. The Twin Pack sump pump includes two stainless steel sump pumps that work to protect your home from leaks and floods. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier made of inorganic materials, so it is not susceptible to mold growth. It is used to fully seal off a crawl space from dirt, critters, and moisture. The Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is guaranteed to keep your crawl space dry by making sure moisture stays out, and overall creating better air quality for the above levels in your home. IceGuard is placed on the outside of the home and it allows for water to expel from the guards in the event that the pipes should freeze or clog in colder weather. Now Curt A. has a healthy, clean crawl space.

Dirty, Moist Crawl Space

This crawl space had been neglected and was dirty and wet. This can cause mold to grow and let in dirt and unwanted critters.

Useless Tarps or lining

Most crawl spaces have some sort of thin tarp or lining put down to cover the dirt floor, but it is really useless. It does not prevent water, critters, or dirt from coming into the area. It could have been the builder who laid it out to spend less money instead of preventing extra work for the future homeowner later.

Debris

Lots of debris and old insulation was filling up the crawl space. The old equipment did nothing, but take up space . It is better to clear a crawl space of trash, especially if you are looking to use it as a storage area.

A CleanSpace Encapsulation System

CleanSpace was installed to replace the old tarp. The difference is that CleanSpace is made of a thick, durable plastic that covers the walls and floors of the crawl space, fully sealing off the entire space. This keeps dirt, critters, and moisture out, creating better air quality for the above levels of the home.
